Luxury Wreath-making Workshops @ Picks Barn, Lyndon

Our LUXURY WREATH-MAKING WORKSHOPS are taking place on Thursday 12th December & hosted by the uber-talented Harriet from The Lincolnshire Flower Company

Harriet (who’s wreath workshops sell out year-after-year), will expertly guide you through a two-hour workshop, sharing her toolkit of techniques and tips to help you create your show-stopping wreath. You will be able to choose from a selection of luxurious, festive ingredients to let your creative juices flow.

There are two sessions: 12-2pm with a light lunch included in the ticket price and 6-8pm with a glass of fizz and festive canapes and nibbles throughout.

Expert or beginner these workshops are for everyone to enjoy. So bring a friend (or two) or come alone and joyfully ease your way into the festive spirit in a warm and welcoming setting.

North Luffenham Garden Club’s Open Meeting on Wednesday January 8th, 2025

Tickets available from the Fox, North Luffenham for Cash only please – an ideal Christmas gift for that special Gardener in your life:)

Interested In An Indian Food Tasting Session?

Hello to all my fellow neighbours, as many of you know I run “Jaimi’s Spice Kitchen” – where I offer curry cooking classes within the comfort of your own home. 

To give you all a taster of what my food is like, I was thinking of holding a food sampling session on my front garden so you are able to get a taste of the kind of dishes you could learn to make during my classes. 

This would be a new experience for me too, but I thought it would be a lovely way to share my passion, give you all a taster and meet all of our local village people 😊. 

I would really appreciate, so I can gauge interest – if you could leave a reply below or send me a message/call to let me know if you would be interested in popping by my sampling session so I can decide on whether to go ahead and plan one, or not. 

Many thanks, 

Jaimi
